Plymouth Title, Falcone Roofing battle for Babe Ruth title

Plymouth Tire and Falcone Roofing swept Cabbyshack and Cold Spring, respectively, in the best-of-three semifinal series over this past weekend to advance to this weeks championship of the Plymouth Babe Ruth Prep division to arrange a showdown for all of the marbles this week

Plymouth Tire 15, Cabbyshack 0

Hugh Halligan was near perfect on the mound (two hits, two walks, 6 Ks), and the PT offense supplied more than ample support in Sundays series clincher.

All 11 Plymouth Tire players had at least one hit, paced by three apiece from catcher Drew Mahoney (3-for-3, three runs, RBI, double, walk, three stolen bases) and third baseman Sterling Pilkington (3-for-4, run. four RBI, stolen base).

Going 2-for-3 in the slugfest were shortstop Bobby Colbert (three runs, RBI, three stolen bases, walk), second baseman Dylan Lyons (three runs, two stolen bases, two RBI, walk), first baseman Seth Spellman (three runs, double, three RBI, three stolen bases, sac fly), centerfielder Christian Weppert (three runs, triple, three RBI, two stolen bases, walk) and Halligan (three runs, RBI, two stolen bases, walk). Jesse Gwillliam also had two big hits and three RBI, and base hits also came off the bats of Greg Jones, Curtis Sheppard and Tyler Keating.

Plymouth Tire 17, Cabbyshack 16

It was far from an artistic success for either team, but PT outlasted a gutsy Cabbyshack performance to notch a win in the opener in the best-of-three semifinals showdown.

Cabbyshack scored a pair to knot the game at 16-16 in the top of the seventh. With two outs in the home half of the frame, Mahoney laced a single to left and stole both second and third during a long at bat from Halligan.

Halligan managed to foul off two two-strike pitches before drawing a walk on a wild pitch that allowed Mahoney to score the game-winner.

There were many errors from both sides, but Devin Bridgwater and Spellman came up with big play after big play in the field for PT, at second and first base, respectively, each of them also going 3-for-4 at the plate. Spellman scored a pair and knocked in three while Bridgwater scored three and knocked in one.
